semi-floating

Nangong Yuan stood by Bai Yi'an's side. Seeing Bai Yi'an lying peacefully on the bed, Nangong Yuan's tense nerves eased. She never wanted to experience the pain of losing Bai Yi'an again.

Seeing Bai Yi'an sleeping peacefully, Nangong Yuan also felt sleepy and fell asleep lying on the bedside.

I don't know how long it took, Bai Yi'an's originally stretched willow eyebrows were tightly wrinkled, a little sweat appeared on his forehead, and his lower lip was clenched tightly, as if he was having a nightmare.

……

17 years ago, in the Phoenix Palace.

"Wow!" As the baby was born crying, it should have heralded the joy of a new life, but in the delivery room there were only the midwives gently holding the baby, wiping the body and coaxing.

A man was kneeling in front of the bed, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, he looked like an extremely handsome man.But the man's eyes were full of sadness, and his voice was choked with sobs, "Ling'er, I'm here...you just open your eyes and look at me, okay..." A hoarse, sad voice echoed in the delivery room Inside.

The woman with three thousand hairs on the bed is scattered on the bed like a beautiful splash-ink painting, her face exudes the luster of white jade, her eyebrows are slender, her red lips are slightly raised, her face is serene and soft, her eyes closed under her slender eyelashes, if you can When you open it, you will be able to guess how those eyes are shining brightly.But the woman on the bed had already stopped breathing. When the baby uttered the first cry, she raised the corners of her lips and stopped breathing forever.

The man knelt in front of the bed for a long time, refusing to get up. Anyone who saw the sadness in his eyes could feel the hard pain.

The midwife held the baby who had been wiped clean, held it in brocade, and carefully handed it to the man, "Patriarch, I hope the patriarch will take care of himself. Look at your highness, your highness is a girl."

The man hugged the baby, and the baby was very sensible, but it just cried out when it came into this world, and kept its mouth shut when it left. At this time, it was looking at the man with black eyes, very well-behaved.

Seeing those eyes that resembled a woman's, the man's eyes turned red again, he held the baby and turned to the woman, "Ling'er... this is our child, don't you still want a girl...then why, why... don't you?" Open your eyes and look at her, look at our children."

The man fell into grief, and kept repeating these two sentences, but it was soft and slow, which made people's hair stand on end.The baby didn't know it, and wanted to reach out to touch the woman's cheek, but the hand was too short, and stopped when there was still a distance, and couldn't move forward half a minute. The baby was dissatisfied, so he babbled.

The baby's voice brought the man back to his senses, seeing the baby's movement "Do you want to touch mother... come"

After that, he hugged the baby and moved closer to the woman. The baby's hand touched the woman, and the little hand pressed the woman's face a few times, and You Zi laughed.

Seeing the baby's movements, the man's face showed a look of misery again, but it was not as sad as before, and he murmured, "Ling'er, look how much she likes you... shall we give her a name... , Yiling... Ling'er, let's give her the word Yi, shall we call it Yiling, and from now on, she will be called Huangyi..."

But no matter how sad the man was, the Yu Ling who would gently call him was gone, and after giving birth to Huang Yi, she closed her eyes forever.

"Patriarch." As soon as Huang Zhi stepped out of the door, dozens of people waiting at the door greeted him. Among them, Si Ming, who was wearing a sacrificial uniform embroidered with phoenix patterns, was the leader. Seeing Huang Zhi's expression, they all knew what had happened. What.Everyone knelt down one after another, "Patriarch Wang's wife is blessed by the gods, and the journey is easy."

Huang Zhi had calmed down a lot, and said, "Get up, everyone. Command."

Si Ming stepped forward, brown eyes half down, took the sleeping baby from Huang Zhi's hand, "Si Ming should pray for her." After saying that, he carried the baby and walked to the altar.

Huangzhi and Si Ming walked side by side, and everyone followed. As long as a child of the Huang clan is born, the high priest will pray to the heavens and check the purity of the blood. Last time, the blood of the first child of the patriarch Huang Che The degree is comparable to that of the patriarch. In the Huang Clan, the direct bloodline of the Huang surname with the highest bloodline is selected as the patriarch of all generations. It can be seen that all the members of the Huang Clan have expectations for Huang Che. After getting off Huang Che, his body became very weak.

Being pregnant with Huang Yi this time was a fatal matter, who knew that Yuling would rather protect the child, Yuling's bloodline in the clan is also one of the best, her prestige is extremely high, she treats people without putting on airs, she is very gentle and friendly, but she passed away Yes, the inside of the Phoenix Clan sighed again and again, feeling very sorry.

Arriving at the altar, Si Ming carried Huang Yiyou up to the altar and stood in the middle, with various offerings in front of him.Si Ming ordered gold sand to paint on Huang Yi's forehead, and drew a phoenix spreading its wings. His movements were gentle. After the painting was finished, he closed his eyes and began to chant silently. The blessing time lasted for half an hour. Yi has also been asleep.

After Si Ming stopped, he looked at Huang Yi's forehead, his originally indifferent eyes suddenly widened, staring at Huang Yi's forehead without making a sound for a long time, then slowly turned to Huang Zhi below, looking at the Everyone was different but all had tense faces. The people below couldn't see the situation of the altar clearly and could only wait for the high priest to announce the purity of the blood. Si Ming paused, and the melodious and quiet voice could be heard clearly, "Zang Qing, I Let’s pray again.”

After finishing speaking, regardless of the sudden boiling voice below, he just drew a phoenix on Huang Yi Guangjie's forehead again.

Although Huangzhi was a little puzzled, Si Ming had been in office for 15 years, and he had been hungry for a very long time among the high priests. He had prayed for countless babies of the Huang clan, but he had never done it again... There were discussions in his ears The quarrel was a little uncomfortable, Huang Zhi snorted coldly, "Calm down, the place of the altar, how could it tolerate you being so noisy!"

Huang Zhi's words caused everyone to be silent, and they all shut their mouths.Si Ming concentrated, and recited the words of blessing again, this time it lasted for a whole hour, after Si Ming opened his eyes, he saw Huang Yi's forehead that was as clean as jade.After a pause, she knelt on the altar with Huang Yi in her arms, and said, "Blessed by the gods, I have this baby."

After finishing speaking, he stood up, held Huang Yi in his arms, and said in a voice that could be clearly heard by the people below, "The prayer is completed, the phoenix... will disappear, and the ancestors will reappear..."

The prayer for the babies of the Huang family is very simple, just prepare the offerings and recite the words of blessing, but the most important thing is to check the purity of the blood, draw a complete phoenix, the more the phoenix disappears during the blessing process, the omen The higher the purity of the baby's blood.When praying for the phoenix, only one head remained of the phoenix, which is quite rare in the phoenix clan.After Huangzhi was born, the clan celebrated with great fanfare for a period of time, which shows how obsessed the Huang clan is with their blood.But Huang Yi turned out to be of the same bloodline as the ancestor, why didn't this shock the entire Huang Clan.

There was silence at the bottom, and for a long while, all the staff looked at the baby in Si Ming's arms enthusiastically. Except for Huang Zhi, they all knelt down respectfully and shouted, "God bless the Phoenix clan! God bless the Phoenix clan!"

Huang Zhi stood in the crowd, looking at the baby, it seemed that Yu Ling's gentle voice sounded next to her ears, "Zhi, may I give you another gift?" In an instant, tears streamed down her face.

Si Ming's brown eyes did not seem to be full of joy, but it was a bit complicated. He walked down the altar, handed Huang Yi to Huang Zhi, looked at Huang Zhi's tearful face, lowered his eyes, and said shallowly, "Zangqing, the deceased It's over."

Huang Zhi showed a sad smile on his face, wiped away his tears, hugged Huang Yi, "give me an order, and hold a banquet to celebrate."

The voices of the crowd shook the sky, and they said in unison, "Yes!!"

The Huang Clan celebrated with great fanfare for a day. In the middle of the night, Huang Zhi stood alone on the Liufeng Cliff in Huangcheng, the hem of his clothes was blown by the wind, his eyes were far away, and he looked straight at the distant scenery.

"Tibetan blue." A voice came from behind, Huangzhi knew who it was without turning his head, there was only one of the Huangzu who called him this way.

"Si Ming can really find it here." Sighing, Huang Zhi said helplessly, she can find it wherever she goes.

Si Ming stopped and looked at Huang Zhi's back, this is the place where you and Yu Ling met for the first time, how could she not know.

"His Royal Highness is looking for you, and she was put to sleep just now." Si Ming walked to Huang Zhi's side, and said in shock.

"Che'er, hehe, let her sleep alone today, she's too old." Huang Zhi's face was calm, no sadness or joy could be seen.Only Si Ming knows that Huang Zhi will hide things the most, the sadder it is, the more deeply it will be engraved in his bones, although every move will involve the wound, but he would rather let himself hurt and remember it forever.

Si Ming sighed and said, "I thought you would be confused about Huang Yi's birth."

"...Didn't you check twice, I naturally believed you. Besides, that was Ling'er's last gift to me."

"The purity of the blood is directly against the ancestors. Even Huang Che has only reached the same height as you. The children born to Yuling are not easy." After a pause, Si Ming's brown eyes were a little worried, For the first time in thousands of years, it is the same as the blood of the ancestors, which should be a good omen, but I feel uneasy."

Huangzhi turned his head, with a clear smile and a gentle and jade-like appearance, this is the patriarch of the Huang clan who can talk and laugh freely wherever he is, "Didn't you pray for Yi'er twice, I believe Yi'er will pass I will be happier than ordinary children. I will also fulfill my father's responsibility and raise her well."

Si Ming saw that Huang was like this, so he didn't say any more.However, the higher the purity of the blood, the greater the burden.After the results on the altar spread, Huang Yi was already an existence comparable to a god in the clan.

Moreover, when she knew that Huang Yi was the blood of the ancestors, shouldn't she be the most happy? The prosperous era of the Huang Clan is finally coming, but why do I feel so uneasy.
